This video is pure gold for DMs! I'm currently DMing an undead-heavy homebrew campaign, annnnndddd this lair fits in perfectly in my world for certain widowed lieutenant's deceased husband 👀 Subscribed immediately, now onto your video collection! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.

It has been (( <i>far!</i> ))too long since I've watched your (( <i>superb!</i> )) videos... I apologize for my failure to support.<br>That said, I can't help but express my glee at your (¿)expansion yet also revision(?) of one of my personal favorites... the Virhurst Downs' crypts!!!<br><br>Oh, by the way::.. <i>You've got a Righteously Magnificent Mane, good sir!</i>

Heck, even your hand scripted lettering is art. Amazing.

Love that you went back to an old map and built this design. Have you ever thought about continuing the idea with before and after campaign scenario?<br><br>Perhaps for Halloween, an autumn masque at a noble’s estate with some palace intrigue. Something to set the stage for the crypt. And then a return with the items to lead or be part of some larger movement in the campaign.<br><br>Interested in your perspective on a family’s influence on a setting overtime. A library with old maps and tomes of family history to rogue during a party or charm a patron into over sharing<br><br>The wight comes back home<br><br>Cool Halloween gig<br><br>One of your best talents or creative elements I have noticed in your presentations is the social content you hint at over your cartography discussions. Something so needed today for exploring emotions and social interactions. <br><br>Riddle us a family with all the quirks and tragedies to help with the holidays. A younger generation to survive the old; and hopes for the cool elder to showing up at the stuffy ball. <br><br>The one that makes you laugh and then scares the hell out of you; leaves the memory of which benefits more. <br><br>Perhaps an additional element for a published work. <br><br>Great presentation<br><br>Thanks and cheers 🐺🌷

I wasn't sure about this video at first. Almost clicked off, however, I am so glad I did not. First it was incredibly interesting and I ha e extreme respect with a modicum of envy for an artist who draws and writes like you. No grids and completely free hand. Thank you for this. I've had and idea about making a side quest undead lair. You've indeed helped. Kudos.

Impressive. What's even more impressive to me is that you can write and draw so well left-handed. I too am a leftie and I can't match you at all.

My players would hate me forever if i make them go through this. They get really mad when they are not in control 😆

A quick idea for a monster- a bone pile! Broken skeletons start coming together into a moving pile! It can shoot fingers, and swing many arms and legs at the players- dead skeletons just add to the pile
